Alliance Recovery Corporation is a leader in research and development in the fields of energy creation and resource recovery, utilizing oil created from the thermal conversion of rubber waste. The company is well positioned to play an important role in the national push to develop and transition to alternative and renewable sources. Alliance Recovery Corporation has a goal to provide America with energy to support peak demand, which is projected by the Department of Energy to increase by 54% from 1997 levels as early as 2015. ACR plans to meet that goal with a revolutionary process that will turn rubber waste into electrical energy.
Annually, millions of pounds of rubber waste from tires and other rubber products are produced in densely populated areas and must be disposed of by each municipality. Compounding an already complex waste management dilemma is the fact that it is illegal in most states to dispose of rubber waste in our nation’s landfills. Using a proprietary process that turns rubber waste to fuel oil, and then to electrical energy, through a thermal process with minimal negligible emission levels, ARC’s manufacturing facilities provide a clean, environmentally friendly solution to rubber waste disposal within municipal limits, while at the same time becoming an alternative source of power.
This process of converting rubber waste into electricity is free of noxious gases, toxic substances and greenhouse gas emissions; it leaves behind only two byproducts, steam and carbon black. These byproducts are both safe and useful in many ways. The steam generated can be used in applications such as greenhouses and other neighboring businesses that require steam and/or hot water in their manufacturing process. The other byproduct, carbon black, is a fine, odorless powder used in the manufacture of rubber tires, plastics, and inks. Together, these byproducts complete the cycle of renewable energy.
Not only does the carbon black start the process over again, but it will also generate a rather sizable stream of income for the company. The recovered carbon black is fully commercial grade, which guarantees little volatility in market price or supply. The global market for carbon black has risen 3.4 percent per year through 2006, to 8.7 million metric tons. Based on conservative economic projections, each ARC Unit is targeted to produce approximately 14 million pounds of carbon black a year from an input of 4.6 million tires.
Leading the company is President and CEO, Peter Vaisler, who has an extensive background in manufacturing technologies and has worked in both the engineering and fabrication sides of the process. In a recent CEOCorner interview with InvestSource Inc, Vaisler said: “There is a plethora of companies making electricity burning fossil fuels, but as of this date the Alliance thermal chemical decomposition of rubber waste to make fuel oil for electrical energy generation remains unique. Furthermore, according to independent third party engineers assessing the Alliance process, our one pass system that provides for the production of fuel oil, process gases and a commercial grade of carbon black gives the Company unique operational and economic advantages.”
